Plasma Fibroblast in Lincoln
Plasma Fibroblast
What is the Fibroblast Plasma Pen treatment?
Plasma Skin Tightening is a non-surgical cosmetic enhancement designed to shrink the skin using a sterile, disposable probe. Fibroblasts are the major cells in connective tissue that produce collagen and other fibers in the skin. These fibroblasts are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of connective tissues. At the right distance from the skin, the energy ionizes the oxygen, combines with the nitrogen in the air and creates a small electrical Plasma arc.
When the Plasma arc hits the skin, it vaporises any liquid in the skin at the point of contact. The surrounding skin contracts into the area and tightens. This gives a shrinking and lifting effect which is called sublimation. Even though the skin layers get vaporised by the Plasma, they do not burn off, they just flake off later as part of the healing process.
When the plasma treatment is used to stimulate the fibroblasts, they begin creating white blood cells to repair the surface tissue. This process recreates collagen type I, the collagen we have in abundance when we’re younger. As we age, this is replaced by collagen type III, a loose and unorganized collagen.
Fibroblast treatment is performed with a device called a plasma pen, which is used to produce plasma waves. The waves are directed as tiny light spots along the wrinkle lines.
The targeted skin contracts and is essentially eliminated without any cutting, which results in the tightening and shrinking of the targeted skin. This advanced procedure helps to revive natural levels of collagen, hyaluronic acid and fibronectin needed for fresh youthful skin. A series of tiny brown spots are strategically placed to attain the desired result. The skin around the dot tightens instantly, pulling the cells closer together.
What areas can be treated with Plasma Pen?
Fibroblasting produces excellent results for any area of the body, particularly the face and neck regions.
• Accordion lines – the lines that form outside of the mouth when you smile
• Crow’s feet around eyes
• Forehead lines
• Jowl / jawline tightening
• Marionette lines – The creases or folds that run vertically from the corners of the mouth down to the chin
• Nasal labial folds / smile lines – The folds that run from the sides of your nose down to the edge of your mouth
• Necklines, turkey neck
• Smoker’s lines – those vertical wrinkles also known as lipstick lines around the mouth
• Stretchmarks
• Upper and lower eyelids – Bags and hoods
How long will it take to see results?
Plasma Pen skin tightening results are impressive but should not be proposed as an alternative to surgery in cases of moderate to severe skin laxity. Only surgery can achieve these kinds of results. You will typically see immediate tightening along with cumulative improvements over the next three months in the appearance of saggy skin. In some cases it may require more than one session depending on the desired results.
Is the Plasma Pen treatment painful?
Plasma Pen is mildly to moderately uncomfortable. Everyone’s pain level is different and some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. Numbing cream is helpful in reducing the discomfort during treatment.
What are the risks of the Plasma Pen treatment?
The Plasma Pen is a relatively safe treatment, particularly when compared to more invasive cosmetic procedures. However, no procedure is without risks and it’s important to review and understand the risks
• Swelling and bruising
• Scabbing and crusting
• Skin discoloration
• Scarring
What downtime can I expect after my Plasma Pen treatment?
• Redness, swelling and scabbing in the treatment area
• Average of 8 days downtime on the face and neck areas
• Average of 10 to 14 days on the body, depending on the area being treated and the intensity of the treatment
• Swelling usually begins the day following your treatment, and peaks around day 3
• After day 3, swelling subsides and scabs form.
• Scabs normally begin to fall off around day 6 and 7 (for face and neck)
Please be aware that the days indicated are simply guidelines for average healing time. Healing time and results may be negatively compromised by not following the after care protocol: no drinking alcohol, no smoking and no picking/scrubbing. If your health is compromised in any way, this can also extend your healing time and negatively affect your results.

Let your skin heal – to avoid scars
The tiny wounds which have been created, then develop a scab or crust. This looks like small brown/black spots all over the skin which has been treated. The key to scarring or not scarring is partly due to how you look after the scabs. To avoid scarring you need to:
• Keep the scabs clean by washing them in cool boiled water.
• Do not pick them – let them drop off, even though they’ll be very itchy!
• Don’t use anything which can tangle and tug them off.
• Once they’ve dropped off, make sure you protect the skin with high SPF for at least 1 month.
Immediately after the treatment expect to get swelling (especially around the eyes) and your skin can feel very hot. The scabs will start to develop quite quickly and can take between 5-10 days to drop off.
Skin type matters
If you have an Asian or Black skin type – you should definitely not have Plasma Pen treatments. This is because you have a much higher concentration of melanin in your skin. It’s likely that your pigmentation will be so disrupted you’ll be left with discoloured skin.
You run the risk of getting something called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is where the skin looks darker, or hypopigmentation – which is when the skin looks really light and loses it colour forever.
